Hi,
I rooted my Note 3 the Root De La Vega way. At some point, I lost root (According to Root Checker). However, I realized that my firmware hadn't changed. Then, the latest OTA tried to push to my phone and, without thinking, I downloaded it and tried to install. It failed. I figured that I needed to unroot my phone in order to grab the OTA. I didn't mind losing root. I looked up how to do it and found a thread saying to do it through SuperSU. I tried to open SuperSU and got an error message saying that "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it..." I then tried to see if I could find the stock firmware and use Odin to unroot that way. I couldn't find the stock firmware for my particular device. Now, I don't know what to do. Please help.
Thanks
Bump?
Bueller?
Use Odin to reinstall a stock firmware. Should wipe everything on the device. Make sure you're on the current base by checking for updates. Then reroot using kingo and install safe strap.

Hello, I´m on stock rooted NAE. Two days ago I received the NG2 update via OTA. I thought this was weird because you´re not supposed to get updates via OTA if you are rooted. Anyway, today I tried to install the update and I got an error during the installation. My phone got restarted and I´m apparently still rooted.
So I have a couple questions...
1) Why did I get the OTA update if I´m rooted?
2) How do you install the NG2 update on a rooted device? I guess you have to run the NG2 tar file via ODIN and then, use the Chainfire root method. Am I right?
3) Does anyone have the mod camera app? I would love to have it.
4) How do I get free hotspot functionality on the NG2 rooted device?
Thank you so much! Any help will be appreciated.

1. If your stock you will always get a firmware update. Unless on another custom rom ex. Aosp.
2. You are correct sir.

I was also NAE rooted and got the OTA NG2 update... I think even rooted devices can downloaded the OTA update... BUT... The rooted or custom ROM or recovery couldn't install this update.
So the update can be downloaded but not installed.
So I pulled the OTA update and returned to the stock status and installed the update normally.

Phone needs to be completely stock before you can run the update. The new plans offer HOTSPOT for free. This will be included in your monthly plan at no extra cost.
Currently running G900FXXU1ANE2 on an EE branded S5. (Previously rooted with towel root and supesu)
keep getting notifications to update firmware but when I do it via OTA it comes up updated failed connect to kies (on PC) the problem being, I don't own a PC so that's not an option
I've tried installing mobile odin via the play store so I can install it manually,but when I try to open it, mobile odin just force closes. I've tried unrooting and re-rooting to see if that fixes the odin problem but to no avail.
Any suggestions on how to update via OTA/Odin without a PC or any other solutions?
Thanks

Well OTA`s can`t be installed if you are rooted and changed the system.
A week ago, my OTA update failed. Have Towelroot and supersu. No other modifications. Failure message said I should use Kies since my phone is modified in an unauthorized way. In order to update and either retain Towelroot through it, OR unroot through supersu, update either OTA or with Kies and then reroot with Towelroot, would the following work:
I have a SM-G900F.
1) I unroot with supersu. I remove Titanium and supersu.
2) I try to update with either an OTA approach or Kies.
3) If update is successful, I reroot with Towelroot and reinstall supersu and Titanium.
Would this work? Would removing root with supersu make me be able to do an OTA update or is Kies inevitable? And after a possible successful update, will Towelrooting still work, or does the most recent Android update (I currently am still 4.2.2) render Towelroot unusable after updating.
Any help much appreciated.

Dude forget about OTA`s when you are rooted, install Mobile Odin Pro and just flash the new rom with MOP and you`ll keep root. Don`t use a wipe or it will fail.

Sorry, but that's just waay too advanced for me. I don't know what flashing a rom means, I just want the most recent update that came out (at least for Europe) a week ago and be able to have root, that's it. Does unrooting, updating to new version with Kies, then rerooting with Towelroot work? Please can somebody just tell me if that can do it or how to do it? I know I'm a noob, sorry, just need real advice.
please.....somebody put me out of my misery. help?

Just download the stock firmware and flash with Kies or Odin. It's not too complex.
To obtain the latest firmware for your device, open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > 'Firmware Browser' menu.
my samsung galaxy s5 , is rooted but I would like to upgrade, I can't do the OTA upgrade so I should proceed with Kies , I would like to know whether I have to unroot my phone(how do I do that? via kies?)or just directly proceed with the upgrade,furthermore, my phone was a sumsung galaxy s5 tmobile but I managed to unlock it in order to use it with other carriers, if I install the original firmware and then upgrade to the newest version, can I still use it with other carriers or will return locked? thank you
Ok say i have kitkat 4.4.4 and cannot update to lolipop via System Update because my root was messed up due to earlier update. I want to know if i can update to lolipop using Odin and obtain a root for it. i am on stock kernel now with root and i was wondering if it will work before i flash back to 4.4.
If you use odin to flash you will loose root and any custom recovery you have installed so you will have to reroot etc after upgrade.
